Cactus Crazy

I was fortunate enough this weekend to run into (although, thankfully, not literally!) a row of cactus that just happened to match the cactus button down shirt I was wearing perfectly. When taking these pictures, my husband was afraid I would backup into one or more of these prickly plants because I had a couple of such mishaps this spring with cactus when we were out in the desert. I was careful, however, and luckily my posterior was saved from any painful stickers this time!

I've always loved cactus. Perhaps it's due to the fact that I grew up on the East Coast and cactus always seemed so exotic. Or perhaps my love of cactus is due to me lacking a green thumb since there's not much you can do to kill a cactus! Whatever it is, I'm not the only one who seems to be crazy for cacti, as they seem to be all the rage right now in fashion. In fact, I'm going to have to get a handbag to match my shirt, given all the fun options that are now available featuring my favorite plant!
